From
where I sit it looks like the rebuild is underway in Vancouver...
It
shouldn't come as a surprise that the Canucks are making changes.
The 2011 Cup final was their best chance. They've won 2 playoff
games since then. What's been frustrating is hearing the amount of
blame being put on the goalies. Both Schneider and Luongo have been
shipped out and the team still hasn't addressed their real problem.
A lack of goals. Eddie Lack gave up one goal against Phoenix and the
Canucks still lost. They managed just 23 shots in the game, with 11
of those being in the 3rd.
A pathetic 4 in the 2nd
didn't help the cause. All the confidence is gone from a team who
won the Presidents Trophy just 2 years ago. Also gone are the
scoring threats. Cody Hodgson and Mason Raymond were both high
speed, high potential players now making impacts in other cities.
What should worry Canucks fans is the continued employment of Mike
Gillis. The GM has managed to turn a Cup contender into a team
likely to miss the playoff altogether in just a couple of seasons. I
would be surprised if Gillis is still in charge after this season, he
has certainly shown he's well past his level of incompetence.
At
least that's how I see it...and I sit in the cheap seats.
I agree completely. Get rid of Gillis!!!
